Solution

The correct option is B Week
The dependent variable is the one whose value changes as a
result of changes in the independent variable.

Moreover, the independent variable belongs on the x-axis (horizontal line) of the graph, while the dependent variable belongs on the y-axis (vertical line).

Thus, in the above plot, week is the independent variable.
